"Second brother, no matter what, it's a fact that Ranran married into the countryside. Jiang Qiaoqiao married Huo Beixiao and is enjoying a comfortable life in the city. Shouldn't she help Ranran a little more?"

"Not only did she not help Ranran, but she also caused Ranran's husband to be arrested and even beat Ranran. It's all her fault! If it weren't for her, Ranran wouldn't have done those things, and she wouldn't have dragged Dad down with him and caused him to lose the election!" Jiang Yong'an became more and more angry as he spoke, and in the end he almost pointed at Jiang Qiaoqiao's nose and shouted.

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at him calmly, "Jiang Yiran is your sister, not mine. She deserves to be miserable. If you're so saintly, you can help her if you want, but don't drag me into it!"

"Jiang Qiaoqiao, you..." Jiang Yong'an was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, and he was about to take action.

Jiang Yongchang grabbed him and said, "Third brother, calm down!"

"Listen to what she's saying! Ranran is our sister, and she's also her sister. She's responsible for Ranran's misfortunes. It's wicked of her not to help Ranran!"

Even though Jiang Yong'an was being held down by Jiang Yongchang, he was still pointing at Jiang Qiaoqiao and yelling.

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at Jiang Yong'an as if he were an idiot. "If you care so much about whether Jiang Yiran is doing well or not, why don't you make her get a divorce and marry her so she can live a better life? Anyway, you're not related by blood."

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.

Jiang Yong'an paused slightly, something was taking root and sprouting in a hidden corner of his heart.

"Qiaoqiao, what you're saying is getting more and more absurd!" Jiang Yongchang shouted coldly.

Jiang Jiahua also put on a stern face, "Qiaoqiao, your second brother is right. Although your third brother is biased, what you said is also unreasonable."

A glint flashed in Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes.

In her past life, she felt that Jiang Yong'an's favoritism towards Jiang Yiran was abnormal, and the way Jiang Yong'an looked at Jiang Yiran always seemed a bit strange.

She just hadn't thought about it that way in her past life.

She just had a sudden idea to test it out, but she didn't expect...

"Alright, I called you into the study today because I have something important to discuss." Jiang Jiahua then sat down and adopted the demeanor of a parent.

"Although Dad didn't win the factory manager election today, a replacement hasn't been decided yet, so there's still room for maneuver."

Jiang Jiahua paused and looked at Jiang Yongchang, "Second brother, during this vacation, you should spend more time with your comrades who have returned from military service."

The implication was that Jiang Yongchang should ask his comrades who had been demobilized and returned to local government positions to put in a good word for him.

“Yes, I will,” Jiang Yongchang replied.

"Qiaoqiao, I heard that Beixiao's relationship with his father has improved a lot recently. You and Beixiao have been married for quite some time now, it's time for our in-laws to sit down and have a meal together. Go back and discuss it with Beixiao, and decide on a place. Dad will treat your in-laws to dinner."

Jiang Jiahua said in a friendly yet generous manner.

Jiang Qiaoqiao finally understood why she had the honor of entering the study today. It turned out that Jiang Jiahua's purpose was to have her act as a matchmaker for him and Huo Yuanshan, and also to have Huo Yuanshan help him get the position of factory director.

Although Huo Yuanshan was only a factory director, the size of a cement factory and a food factory were completely different, and the weight between factory directors was also different.

Huo Yuanshan has a much wider network of connections than Jiang Jiahua.

Jiang Jiahua has already said so much, it would be impolite for Jiang Qiaoqiao to refuse again.

She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with Bei Xiao."

On the way back, Jiang Qiaoqiao told Huo Beixiao about it.

Huo Beixiao nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to him about it tomorrow."

The two families decided to have a meal together on a day off.

Jiang Jiahua had booked a private room at the state-run restaurant well in advance.

Unlike the last time Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying visited the Huo family and were turned away, this time the two families shook hands warmly and affectionately as soon as they met.

Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao followed the crowd toward the private room.

As she was going upstairs, a person coming downstairs bumped into Jiang Qiaoqiao's shoulder.

"I'm sorry," Jiang Qiaoqiao and the other person said at the same time.

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Jiang Qiaoqiao was slightly taken aback.

She subconsciously looked up at the other person, and when she saw that familiar face, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Young comrade, do you recognize me?"

Perhaps she had been looking at it for too long, because the other person politely asked.

Jiang Qiaoqiao snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head. "No, I don't know you. Sir, I accidentally bumped into you just now. I'm so sorry."

"Hahaha..." the other person laughed heartily, "Young comrade, I bumped into you, so if anyone should be sorry, it's me."

Even after the other person's figure disappeared from the state-run restaurant, Jiang Qiaoqiao's heart still hadn't calmed down.

The Qin family's prosperity and Qin Haiyang's rise to the top in her previous life were due not only to her hard work but also to a crucial figure.

That's the old gentleman from earlier, Xia Yuntao.

Xia Yuntao was a "red capitalist" in his early years. During the most chaotic years in the country, he moved his family abroad to develop. Now that the domestic business environment is getting better and better, he has returned to invest in China.

In her previous life, the Qin family was extremely poor. Even with her skills in making duck products and her business acumen, it would have taken at least ten years to accumulate initial capital without external assistance.

But Qin Haiyang unexpectedly saved Xia Yuntao, and Xia Yuntao took a liking to her duck-making skills and invested a large sum of money in them.

Making money is hard, but making money from money is easy.

With Xia Yuntao's capital paving the way, her business expanded exceptionally quickly.

Nationwide chain of duck products stores, supermarkets, real estate...

And then came an era when gold was everywhere.

In its past life, the Qin Group was like a pig standing at the very forefront of a trend, with perfect timing, location, and people; it would have been difficult for it not to take off.

"Brother Haiyang, did you remember that?"

At this moment, Jiang Yiran was also describing Xia Yuntao's appearance to Qin Haiyang.

Qin Haiyang found it somewhat inexplicable that Jiang Yiran would suddenly tell him about this person and that he had to save him no matter what danger this person was in.

But now his whole family is still counting on Jiang Yiran and the Jiang family. He was so angry last time that he hit Jiang Yiran, and he still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it.

If Jiang Yiran really divorces him, then he will become the biggest joke in the village.

He couldn't repeat the same mistake, so he nodded and said, "Honey, don't worry, I've got it all covered. I'll go find him right now."

"Okay, Ocean Brother, go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back."

Jiang Yiran watched Qin Haiyang's departing figure, her eyes filled with relief and anticipation.

In his previous life, Qin Haiyang had mentioned many times that Xia Yuntao was his benefactor, and his early business relied entirely on Xia Yuntao's investment.

The reason their supermarkets aren't doing well is because they lack money, right?

If she weren't short of money, she could run a supermarket like Qin Haiyang's in his previous life, changing products and holding promotional events every day, and she wouldn't have to worry about not having customers.

Once Qin Haiyang encounters that person again and saves him, her suffering will finally be over...

Jiang Yiran was immersed in her beautiful fantasies about the future.
